Blame Canada.
From the true north strong and free, to the fruited plains, June has been a wondrous month for the advancement of gay and lesbian rights.

It all began in the land of Mounties and chocolate moose, when the government refused to appeal an Ontario court decision that in effect opened the maple leaf gate to gay marriages. A week later, the US Supreme Court said it is OK for gay people in the US to have sex.

Leave it to the Americans to rush to bed without the formality of a wedding. While Canadian homosexuals can experience the pomp and circumstance of a Wedding March, American homosexuals are now encouraged to have one night stands, but are stopped short of shopping for a wedding dress, diamond rings and pure leather chaps. Perhaps some are not necessarily stopped, but they still must do their shopping in the still of the night in the light of a 17-inch monitor instead of experiencing a bridal shower.

Chances are, that the rush of Americans into Canada by gay folks seeking to say “I do, eh?” will ultimately send American courts into confusion when gay marriage in natural order turns into gay divorce. As glamorous as gay marriage may seem at this early stage, the dirty laundry in the homosexual agenda may have to be ultimately exposed in public. “When I was married to Lester, my shirts always felt fabulous!” George will whisper to Harry after a long night at a gay bar. “If you can’t even get the stains out of my underwear, you might as well go marry Monica Lewinsky!”

“I have nothing against homosexuals and other degenerates, “Justice Anthony Scalia said in entering his dissent to the US Supreme Court opinion. “Scalia said in the dissent delivered from the bench. “After all, I even put up with Justice Clarence here who has never met a porno case in which he wasn’t interested.”

“I can’t help it if my hormones were raised in an affirmative action lifestyle, “Thomas responded.

Meanwhile, other right wing ideologues are gathering in Montgomery, Alabama where the state’s legislature recently eliminated a ban on inter-racial marriages that remained on the books. Despite the apparent cave-in on that issue, it will take the more recent court decision some time to fight its organized opposition. North America is in real serious trouble in the wake of the approval of gay sex in the US and gay marriage in Canada, according to the Rev. Pat Robertson. Gay sex may appeal to heathens like the French, Robertson says, but he doubts if America is ready to “super-size” perversion in its legal system. “If you think we are intolerant about homosexual sex, wait until Osama bin Laden hears this,” Robertson noted. “Once he gets confused about just who is under that burqua , you can bet he’ll be pissed.”

The fundamentalists gathered in Montgomery did all they could to remind folks about the natural order of things: working and earning money is for the father of a family (unless of course the father is black, and then he belongs in prison). Cooking and cleaning is for women and if they don’t do it right, they need to be slapped around. Marriage and sex should come in that order and ONLY in the order of the woman when she is walking several feet behind her husband. God blesses rich men with Presidents who cut their taxes, while the meek are told they will inherit the earth. Troops that fight for these ideals on behalf of Americans should be blessed by God, while religions that represent the wrong God, and insist on defending themselves should be met with regime change.

Finally, the men of faith in Montgomery found an appropriate vehicle for sending a message to their God. “Amidst our idealists, there are those who have not abandoned their faith in all that is natural,” Robertson said. “They are old enough that they will soon be in line to meet their maker.”

Representatives of the group met with Lester Maddox and Strom Thurmond just days before they died this week. Both seemed delighted to share their earthly wisdom with the Supreme Being. “We are honored to take on this task,” they said as they were quickly dispatched. “I’m sure we can set God straight.”
